< Psalms 86 >
1 Bow down thine ear, O YHWH, hear me: for I am poor and needy.
2 Preserve my soul; for I am dedicated: O thou my Elohim, save thy servant that trusteth in thee.
3 Be merciful unto me, O YHWH: for I cry unto thee daily.
4 Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for unto thee, O YHWH, do I lift up my soul.
5 For thou, YHWH, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.
6 Give ear, O YHWH, unto my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications.
7 In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee: for thou wilt answer me.
8 Among the elohim there is none like unto thee, O YHWH; neither are there any works like unto thy works.
9 All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O YHWH; and shall glorify thy name.
10 For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art Elohim alone.
11 Teach me thy way, O YHWH; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name.
12 I will praise thee, O YHWH my Elohim, with all my heart: and I will glorify thy name for evermore.
13 For great is thy mercy toward me: and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell. (Sheol )
14 O Elohim, the proud are risen against me, and the assemblies of violent men have sought after my soul; and have not set thee before them.
15 But thou, O YHWH, art an El full of compassion, and gracious, longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.
16 O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; give thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid.
17 Shew me a token for good; that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed: because thou, YHWH, hast helped me, and comforted me.
